SOME WOODY ORNAMENTAL PLANT MATERIALS FOR INDIANA
by
N. W. Marty &
H. W. Gilbert
Horticulture Extension - landscape Architecture
The plants in the following lists are generally reliable and among the better plant materials for the average landscape uses in Indiana, The lists are not complete and were not meant to be. Plants which may be very desirable for special situations but which are slightly inferior to other materials for general usage have been omitted. Where several plants are very similar in appearance and use, only the more common or more easily obtainable ones have been listed. Also, only a limited number of plants which are not hardy throughout Indiana have been included.
Where hardiness may definitely limit the use of a plant, it ie so stated in the list. Northern-grown stock is likely to be more generally hardy than southern-grown stock of the same species or variety. In the cases of some "borderline" plants, such as Flowering Dogwood, Korean Little leaf Box, and Canby Pachistima in the northern-most counties of Indiana, this may be the determining factor of survival.
Deciduous Shrubs
Shrubs Usually Under 2 Feet Tall
Useful in base plantings of low buildings, especially beneath very low windows and other places where only very low plant materials can be used.
1. Box Japanese Barberry
Berberis thunberpi minor
2. Cranberry Cotoneaster
Contoneaster apiculata
3. Dwarf American Cranberrybush Viburnum
Vuburnum trilobum namm
Shrubs Usually Between 2 and 4 Feet Tall
Useful in base plantings. Of some use in border plantings, but in most circumstances will not give an effective screen if used alone. Also used to plant in front of taller shrubs in mass plantings.
